Whoah! Rounds fired; crowd scattering!
Hope it's salutes or potshots at a Saddamned poster!
Reporter got a little nervous, eh?
Potential for a round coming in from a die-hard, we suppose - last gesture of defiance from a dying dictatorship.
Could happen; hope not. An RPG or mortar round could do a job on that crowd.
Fingers crossed. Rope a no-go; cable nix; here we go with the chain, or ... what?
OH! They've got the boom up! Whooo-hah!

Don't you love watching the Iraqis trying to direct our guys in how to pull down the statue?
To: Delta 21
So we brought "statue removal" equipment to the battle.
Now that's planning ahead.
